DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Nearly ten million people in the United States are living with cancer, with patients requiring greater care at home for longer periods of time. The physical, emotional, and financial burdens are borne by lay caregivers with an economic impact of over $11 billion annually. This Phase II SBIR project will result in a web site with interactive tools and downloadable handheld applications. CancerCaregiving.com(tm) will provide caregivers with the means to achieve greater mastery over the practical and psychosocial tasks of caregiving while managing and reducing the burden. In Phase II, we will use the qualitative and quantitative data gathered in Phase I to refine content and the current menu of six tools, as well as research and develop the full range of interactive tools and assets for the web site. The web site will be reviewed by panels of professional and lay caregivers for content and usability. Randomized, controlled field testing will take place online and over an eight-week period to measure changes in self-efficacy and caregiving burden and satisfaction. In Phase III, CancerCaregiving.com(tm) will be launched commercially to consumers, health care institutions, cancer centers, and employers.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国有近千万人患有癌症，患者需要在家中接受更长时间的更好护理。身体、情感和经济负担由非专业护理人员承担，每年造成的经济影响超过 110 亿美元。第二阶段 SBIR 项目将建立一个带有交互式工具和可下载手持应用程序的网站。 CancerCaregiving.com(tm) 将为护理人员提供更好地掌握护理的实际和社会心理任务的方法，同时管理和减轻负担。在第二阶段，我们将利用第一阶段收集的定性和定量数据来完善内容和当前的六种工具菜单，并研究和开发网站的全套互动工具和资产。该网站将由专业和非专业护理人员小组对内容和可用性进行审查。随机、受控的现场测试将在八周的时间内在线进行，以衡量自我效能、护理负担和满意度的变化。在第三阶段，CancerCaregiving.com(tm) 将向消费者、医疗保健机构、癌症中心和雇主推出商业服务。
